'I wanted euros...four...five..', how 'freedom traders' work
Court of Elbasan

Julio Musa, a boy arrested for serious injury, was charged and it was time to make a decision on his punishment.

It is about September-October 2021.

Taulant Ramallari, the prisoner's uncle, has apparently taken on the role of the intervenor to adjust relations with the accusing party as well as the negotiator to favor a reduced sentence.

The SPAK file, which led to the imprisonment of the convict, Xjulio Musai, Taulant Ramallari, the lawyer Ilir Pashaj, (former judge in the court of Elbasan) and the judge of the court of Elbasan Zamira Vyshka and Andrea T. reveals the scheme "how it can be bought with money the freedom of prisoners" in court

Everything starts from an anonymous report that arrives at SPAK in July 2021, which gives an indication of an affair that is being carried out with a file that Judge Vyshka had in hand. Then the ambient and telephone interceptions begin.

From the file, the convict's uncle is the one who contacts the lawyer and the convict, and will deliver the envelope.

The meeting would take place on October 9, in front of a bar where the judge herself would be nearby.

But everything breaks down when the family members are asked for another 200,000 to favor a reduction of the sentence. From a calculation of the years of the sentence, the family members of the convict understand that the amount that was requested was very large compared to the few months that they would sit down and withdraw.

In the trial that was held in October 2021, Julio receives the punishment while the investigations continue until July 2022, when the judge, the lawyer, the convict, the uncle were handcuffed while another person, a friend of the family, was prosecuted.

Taulanti has a phone conversation with Andrea regarding the trial, for which it is suspected that Taulanti has agreed to the amount of 200,000 lek to favor Julio. While 2,000 euros had been requested

Taulanti: A double will, Albanian... I told him that we barely collected them, he wanted 2 euros, I told him I don't have any. I told two Albanians.

The trial is scheduled for October 7, but with medical reports, the lawyer postpones the hearing.

Julio calls Taulan from prison. From the context of the conversation, it is suspected that Taulanti made a payment of 200,000 lek in relation to Julio to favor him

Taulanti: How many days did they leave (the court) because I didn't go inside

Julio: At 11 .. What about the package and you?

Taulanti: I gave him two

Taulanti, Fatmiri (Ivellai) and the prisoner's mother and the lawyer had let him meet at Taulanti's bar, but the lawyer had not accepted because there were people.

 October 9, 2021

Taulanti and the lawyer have decided to meet at a bar at "Dinamo's intersection" in order to hand over the requested and agreed upon amount of money.

18:27  The lawyer together with his wife enter the bar and meet the judge Zamira Vyshka.

7:00 p.m.  The lawyer calls Taulanti and tells him where he is and that he would ring the bell when he approached. They seem to have discussed beforehand that at the moment of handing over the monetary amount, the lawyer Pashaj will be in the presence of judge Zamira Vyshka.

"The presence of the judge at a fairly close distance (Inside the bar in the premises in front of the door of the bar) also guarantees Taulanti that the amount will be delivered to the judge in order to favor the defendant. But of course Taulanti could not meet directly with the judge as everything would be exposed," the file says

19:27  Ilir Pashaj leaves the bar G. B... and meets Taulanti with whom they stand for a few minutes in front of the door of the bar. An argument starts between Taulanti and the lawyer. Then the lawyer enters the bar while Taulanti leaves with an envelope in hand and they get into the car 

19:55  Iliri Pashaj and his wife are separated from Zamira Vyshka. The couple got into the Benz while the judge owned a black Chrysler that had been parked in front of the bar.

7:40 p.m

Taulan calls Andrea T and tells what happened 

Taulanti: I met him but I didn't do anything. I didn't give them to him

Andrea: Why?

Taulanti: He wanted two more

Andrea: Line at all o. But why for two months, two months will win. Nothing else.

Taulanti: E. That is, I would give it to him and it would be released in November of the next year. I said, oh my God, you are talking, man. November of the following year

Andrea: No, it's time, he'll go out by himself

Taulanti: E Better eat those lek bread and hang wool

7:43 p.m

Taulanti talks to Andrea again

Taulanti: I'm counting, they haven't sat down for a single day, just like.. there so much

They do the math and realize that no reduction was anticipated.

Andrea: Come on, don't give him anything anymore. Likewise, he has not let me down for a single day. As much as the prosecutor says, so much is denied 

Andrea: And when it falls to him to go out. It's the same in November that I got stuck

Taulanti: Well, in November he said del. I told him what he's talking about

Andrea: He would also earn 6 months

Taulanti: November, he said, November comes out, he said, I'll do it here, he said, let's make a complaint, he said..

Andrea: Oh, they're gone, they're useless, you didn't sit down, you say. Say it bluntly.

Based on the previous conversations, it results in an additional 200,000 lek in addition to those previously requested by Iliri to favor the penalty measure.

From the intercepts in the file, it is written that in advance they had agreed that the amount to be handed over was 200,000 ALL. This was the purpose of the meeting in front of the bar. "Only after the meeting of the lawyer Ilir Pashaj with the judge Zamira Vyshka, the lawyer changed his position and increased the requested monetary amount by 200 thousand lek" the file states.

"In a logical analysis of the evidence and developments, the request to increase the monetary amount according to the prosecution is the request of judge Zamira Vyshka, but of course, in order not to expose it, it is transmitted to Taulanti through the lawyer Ilir Pashaj," the file continues.
